My cold seems to be a little better this morning, I am only tired – it has been too warm at night to fall asleep at a reasonable hour, which makes recovery from a cold more difficult.
Other than that I have handled my cold in typical Jack fashion, ignore it and keep training the best I can. It has been my experience that one can continue to train, albeit at a reduced intensity (depending on the severity), while having a cold as long as there is no fever. I did change my training, rather than going to the public pool and polluting it with my runny nose, I decided to go for a shorter run.
I have been meaning to see how long it takes to run to the meeting point for the Graben Running Club. It turns out that with an easy pace (6:00/K, 9:39/M) I can run there in about 23 minutes, which I did last night. I took a different route on the way home, ending up with a total run of 48 minutes, or around 8K/5M. The nice thing about the run is that it cleared the congestion out of my lungs and left me breathing easier.
I felt so good after my run that I put the first coat of pain on my wife’s new cupboard that I built for her coffee corner at work.
Tonight I want to run for the second time with the Graben Running Club, probably 11K/7M. We are expecting rain sometime today or tonight, hopefully not thundershowers (it’s already hot and humid enough). Happy Training!
Hi Jack, I'm still in the process of changing the link to your blog from mine.
I've been lurking around your site but didn't have the time to comment. I dig the new layout.
I'd love to see the wife's new cupboard. Post a pic!
Hmmm, I don't know if you caught my spelling error (okay there were several, but I mean), the one where I said I put the first coat of "pain" on my wife's new cupboard. Of course I meant to say "paint" and was about to edit it, but then I got to thinking that painting in a 90°F workshop is pain, so left it. Just thought I would add more mindless blabbering here ;-)
Glad you are feeling better. I am moving my running time earlier - its already mighty muggy at 6 am here!
Take care.
